To Electronic Arts, Doug TenNapel, Pencil Test Studios, and the gaming community:

The Neverhood (1996) stands as one of the most unique and beloved point-and-click adventure games ever created. With its distinctive claymation art style, haunting yet whimsical soundtrack by Terry Scott Taylor, and unforgettable characters like Klaymen, this game left an indelible mark on gaming history.

Why The Neverhood deserves a modern revival:

• Timeless Art Style: The hand-crafted claymation aesthetic remains visually stunning and would benefit enormously from modern high-resolution treatment
• Cult Following: Despite being over 25 years old, the game maintains a passionate fanbase worldwide
• Technical Limitations: The original was constrained by 1990s technology - modern systems could fully realize Doug TenNapel's creative vision
• Preservation: Many fans can no longer play the original due to compatibility issues with modern systemsMusical Legacy: Terry Scott Taylor's iconic soundtrack deserves to be heard in pristine quality
• Proven Demand: The successful Kickstarter for Armikrog (2013) proved fans still hunger for this unique style

What we're requesting from Electronic Arts (current rights holder):

Option 1: Official EA Remaster/Remake

Full remake rebuilt with modern technology while preserving original charm

AI-upscaled visuals and enhanced audio for modern systems
Multi-platform release (PC, consoles, mobile)
Collaboration with original creators Doug TenNapel and Terry Scott Taylor

Option 2: Rights Transfer

Sell or license rights back to Doug TenNapel and Pencil Test Studios
Allow the original creators to develop the remake/remaster themselves
EA retains revenue sharing while creators maintain artistic control

Option 3: Licensing Partnership

License the IP to indie developers specializing in classic game remasters
Maintain quality control while leveraging specialized expertise
Follow successful models like Monkey Island and Day of the Tentacle remasters

Key Personnel We're Calling Upon:

@ElectronicArts - Please consider the cultural value and fan demand for this unique IP @dougtennapel - The original visionary who brought

 Klaymen to life @PencilTestStudios - Mike Dietz and Ed Schofield, proven claymation game developers @terrytaylor - The musical genius behind Neverhood's unforgettable soundtrack @EA_DICE - Current corporate home of the former DreamWorks Interactive assets

Why This Makes Business Sense:

1. Low development risk with proven fanbase
2. Unique artistic property that stands out in today's market
3. Successful precedent with other classic adventure remasters
4. Potential for transmedia expansion (merchandise, streaming content)
5. Positive PR for preserving gaming history

The success of other classic adventure game remasters proves there's a market for lovingly restored point-and-click adventures. The Neverhood's unique visual style, cult status, and the proven track record of its creators make it particularly suited for this treatment.

We, the undersigned, believe that The Neverhood's artistic vision and gaming legacy deserve to be preserved and celebrated for new generations of players.
